Abstract

The article undertakes an analysis of the Manhattan Declaration through the prism of defending the right to freedom of conscience and to express opinions arising from that freedom. Three groups of issues will be analyzed in turn, on which a common Christian (and thus ecumenical) expression of opinion on moral issues is necessary. These are the sanctity and inviolability of human life, Christian understanding of marriage and family, and religious freedom as a fundamental expression of freedom of conscience.

Keywords:

Manhattan Declaration, sanctity of life, marriage, religious freedom, civil disobedience
